according to Lookonchain monitoring, the Humanity hacker has minted an additional 100 million H tokens on the BSC chain. The hacker has already obtained 18,510 ETH (worth $30.83 million) and 1,548 BNB (worth $924,000) by selling H tokens. The hacker currently still holds 111.36 million H tokens (worth $14 million) for sale. On-chain liquidity is now nearly depleted.
according to monitoring by Onchain Lens, despite the hack of Humanity Protocol, a newly created wallet has received 62.68 million H tokens from BitGo, worth $7.65 million. The wallet is suspected to belong to VC Framework Ventures, though this has not yet been confirmed.
Odaily reports: In response to the "Humanity theft incident," on-chain detective ZachXBT has released a new post stating that this "incident" was very likely a staged event. He fundamentally does not believe the team's corresponding explanation, which he sees as nothing more than an excuse fabricated by those with ill intentions to escape blame.According to earlier news, ZachXBT stated that it has not been confirmed whether the Humanity theft was a security attack or a malicious sell-off by the project team. The sell-off of the H token originated from a DEX rather than a CEX.
in response to the "Humanity hack of over $31 million," on-chain detective ZachXBT stated, "It is uncertain whether this was a hacker's theft or a malicious act by the project team. Looking at the chart, given the concentration of supply, the H team was likely working with an active market maker. However, all H tokens were dumped on a decentralized exchange (on-chain), not on a centralized exchange."
according to on-chain analyst Ember CN's monitoring, hackers are continuing to dump H tokens on-chain, with the on-chain price dropping to $0.003. The current Binance perpetual contract price stands at $0.06, a 20x difference from the on-chain price.
SlowMist founder Yu Xian tweeted that, after preliminary analysis, the Asterix attack employed a method similar to yesterday’s Flooring Protocol incident. The underlying protocols involved are DN404 and BT404, respectively. The issue relates to integer overflow and reuse caused by high-value NFT ID bit-shift operations, suggesting the attacker may be searching for similar vulnerabilities.
According to Specter (@SpecterAnalyst), Humanity Protocol has been hacked, with losses exceeding $31 million. Funds are still being transferred, and the attacker is converting H into ETH.

Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
Wallets associated with or interacted with Humanity Protocol are being compromised. Currently, over 17 wallets holding H tokens have been stolen, with total losses exceeding $19 million. The cause of the theft remains unclear, but the attack pattern suggests that the affected wallets may share a common risk exposure related to Humanity Protocol.
the US Department of Justice stated Saif Faiq has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in a Bitcoin-related kidnapping and extortion case, facing a maximum of 20 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for August 28.The case occurred in 2024. Faiq and his brother Adam Iza were accused of plotting to kidnap the parents of a crypto millionaire, recruiting six men from Florida to carry out the operation in Connecticut. The suspects carjacked the victims' Lamborghini Urus in broad daylight, assaulting them and briefly holding them captive.The victims were Sushil and Radhika Chetal, whose son Veer Chetal was previously involved in a social engineering fraud case, stealing approximately 4,100 Bitcoins, and has already pleaded guilty to the theft. Faiq and his brother have both acknowledged conspiring to interfere with commercial activities through robbery.
in April this year, KelpDAO's LayerZero bridge was exploited in a $292 million vulnerability attack, triggering an $8.45 billion deposit run on Aave within 48 hours, marking the largest capital outflow event in decentralized finance (DeFi) history. Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the design of Aave V3 withstood the market test, demonstrating the network's "resilience." However, independent data indicates that Aave's survival primarily relied on $300 million in emergency rescue, including a 25,000 ETH guarantee from the Aave DAO and a personal injection of 5,000 ETH (approximately $8.4 million) by Kulechov.Kulechov attributed the vulnerability to third-party infrastructure rather than core smart contracts. However, analysts pointed out that this incident exposed deficiencies in Aave's risk architecture and insurance mechanisms, leading the platform to incur significant bad debt (approximately $123.7 million in wETH). To prevent future bridge failures from triggering systemic bank runs, Aave V4 will adopt a modular "hub-and-spoke" architecture, enabling local risk auto-adjustment and collateral freezing.

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that Polymarket has launched a new prediction event titled "Was Zcash's Orchard privacy pool confirmed to have been exploited?"On June 4, Zcash's core development team revealed that they had deployed an emergency network upgrade to fix a critical cryptographic vulnerability in the Orchard privacy pool. This flaw could have potentially allowed a malicious attacker to arbitrarily forge unlimited amounts of ZEC. Due to the vulnerability's characteristic that "it is impossible to cryptographically prove whether it was exploited in the past," independent support organization Shielded Labs subsequently proposed on June 5 to deploy a new privacy pool during the NU7 upgrade at the end of July. They also suggested implementing strict "Turnstile-accounting" audits for tokens exiting Orchard to investigate whether any forged tokens exist. According to the settlement rules for this prediction event, if before December 31, 2026, official sources or mainstream credible media confirm that the vulnerability was effectively exploited on the mainnet before being patched, the event will settle as YES.Odaily Seer continues to monitor prediction markets, seeing changes before pricing.
Yuga Labs tweeted that it has completed a white-hat operation targeting a newly discovered vulnerability in the Flooring Protocol and is temporarily safeguarding the rescued assets, including 29 Bored Apes, 4 Mutant Apes, 1 BAKC, 2 CryptoPunks, 1 Azuki, 2 Elementals, 26 Captains, 1 Moonbird, and 2 Doodles.
Syscoin released a preliminary post-mortem of the cross-chain bridge incident, stating that due to a verification issue in the bridging process, the attacker exploited an abnormal transaction proof validation to generate approximately 5 billion SYS tokens abnormally on the UTXO side via the affected bridging path.
In response to Radha Stirling’s claims regarding alleged abuse of multiple Dubai-based cryptocurrency individuals in UAE detention facilities, on-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that the individuals referred to as “crypto entrepreneurs” are in fact threat actors suspected of involvement in high-impact social engineering cryptocurrency scams and data ransom operations; law enforcement authorities have seized $18.9 million in stolen funds.
New York Supreme Court Judge Kathy J. King has signed an order to pause proceedings in a lawsuit seeking ownership claims over 39,069 dormant bitcoin wallets, and has scheduled a hearing for July 14 regarding a key amicus curiae brief.The plaintiffs in the case are an anonymous individual referred to as "Noah Doe" and two shell companies, who are seeking to claim ownership of these wallets under the New York State Abandoned Property Law. Attorney Ian R. Cohen submitted an amicus curiae brief opposing the plaintiffs' claims. He argues that the Abandoned Property Law is intended for tangible items, whereas blockchain addresses are always visible to the world; if the original owner was unable to withdraw assets due to a security breach, this constitutes a passive loss of access rather than a voluntary abandonment.
